“Nephew, let me tell you. I learned this method from your father,” Yao Li said proudly. “This is called digging three feet into the ground.

“I’ve dug up every nook and cranny along the way, leaving no stones uncovered. I think I’m close to digging up that human army.”

The veins on Zhou Shu’s forehead twitched. Although Yao Li’s method was stupid, as long as his manpower and resources could keep up, it was indeed an effective way!

At this rate, as long as he continued to advance, he would find the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch sooner or later.

Once he found the camp of the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch, they would be surrounded by two million soldiers.

With the current strength of the Huaxia Pavilion branch, they couldn’t withstand such a force.

He had to think of something.

Zhou Shu pondered and said, “Lord Yao Li, there’s an expert in the human army who killed Lord Yao Lian. Have you thought about how to deal with him?”

“Yao Lian was killed because he was useless,” Yao Li said disdainfully. “I’m different from that piece of trash. The human race is weak. That’s how they say it, right?” Yao Li asked.

Zhou Shu nodded, and Yao Li immediately became excited. “The human race is weak. Even if there are experts, how strong can they be?”

“One can never be too careful. What if?” Zhou Shu said. “Lord Yao Li, you can’t underestimate the enemy.”

“Yao Qing, you know me.” Yao Li laughed. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “Let me tell you, Demon King Ao personally instructed me to carry out this operation. He even specially rewarded me with a divine power.

“Once I use the divine power, anyone below the Demon King level will definitely die. Even ordinary Demon Kings will be skinned alive.

“No matter how powerful that human is, can he be stronger than Demon King Ao?”

“Demon King Ao’s divine power?” Zhou Shu looked puzzled.

His puzzled expression didn’t make Yao Li suspicious. Instead, it made him even more proud.

“You didn’t expect it, did you? Demon King Ao is the number one Demon King in our Demon Realm. His divine power is no less than his full strength. Who in the world can resist it?” Yao Li patted his chest. Those who didn’t know better would think that Yao Li was the number one Demon King in the Demon Realm.

Zhou Shu silently memorized the name Demon King Ao. “Actually, I think that you might not need to use Demon King Ao’s divine power. Isn’t that overkill?

“If I remember correctly, this place shouldn’t be far from Demon Queen Tushan’s territory, right? Why don’t you think of a way to ask Demon Queen Tushan to help?”

Yao Li shuddered and shook his head. “I can’t afford to offend Demon Queen Tushan.

“Yao Qing, don’t even think about provoking Lady Tushan,” Yao Li said with a terrified expression. “You’re still young. You might not know how terrifying Lady Tushan is…”

Zhou Shu was puzzled. Is Tushan that terrifying?

Not to mention anything else, Demon Queen Tushan was extremely enchanting. Could it be that she didn’t match the aesthetics of demonic beasts?

He was waiting for Yao Li to continue, but Yao Li actually stopped. He changed the topic and said, “Yao Qing, your family is very knowledgeable. A few days ago, I happened to obtain a human language anthology. I don’t know some words. Can you help me take a look?”

Yao Li looked expectant.

Zhou Shu was a little stunned. An anthology? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?

Previously, he had realized that Yao Li liked to speak in a refined manner. But he was indeed uneducated and couldn’t pull it off. He didn’t expect him to have an anthology.

“I’m not too interested in human things either—” Zhou Shu said.

“I understand. But you’re Old Ji’s son, aren’t you? I’m sure you’ll be better than me.” Then he took out a tattered book.

The book was very thought-provoking at first glance. Only half of the cover was left, and the ink on it was already blurry.

Zhou Shu took it curiously. He only took a glance before he stared at Yao Li strangely.

“Lord Yao Li, who told you that this is an anthology?” Zhou Shu asked.

“Isn’t it?” Yao Li scratched his head. “There are so many words. If it’s not an anthology, what is it?”

Zhou Shu was speechless. Who taught Yao Li such things? Ji Lutian?

“It’s not an anthology,” Zhou Shu said. “This is a diary.”

“A diary?” Yao Li looked puzzled, not understanding what he meant.

“A diary records what someone does every day,” Zhou Shu explained casually. “For example, what you ate today, how many hours you slept today, and so on.”

“That’s it?” Yao Mo’s eyes widened. “Yao Qing, did you see wrongly?”

“If you don’t trust me, you can find someone else,” Zhou Shu said coldly.

“That’s not what I meant.” Yao Li scratched his head. “This thing was so hidden that I thought it was a precious anthology. Who knew that it was just a lousy diary? Who cares what he ate!”

“Where did you get this, Lord Yao Li?” Zhou Shu was speechless. Yao Li had said that he didn’t know some words, but he might not even know many. He didn’t even know what this was.

He even thought it was an anthology.

You’re a big burly demonic beast who only thinks about literature. Do you know that you’ve gone astray?

After correcting a demonic beast that wanted to use weapons, Zhou Shu felt that it was necessary for Yao Li to return to the right path.

A demonic beast could do anything. Why did he have to be interested in human culture?!

What if he learned the human art of war one day? Wouldn’t that be terrible?

No, I have to save the lost lambs in the Demon Realm. I have to get them to realize their identity as demonic beasts and no longer let their thoughts run wild. What are they doing?

“This?” Yao Li said unhappily. “I paid a huge price to obtain it. If I had known that it was a diary, I wouldn’t have wanted it.

“A few days ago, when the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continents was in turmoil, some secret places appeared in the Demon Realm. Many demonic beasts obtained great opportunities in them. I got this damn diary from one of them.

“At the time, I had to suppress several Great Demons to obtain it!”

In order to defeat those Great Demons, Yao Li had vomited a lot of blood. In the end, he got such a lousy thing. It was really a huge loss.

“Lord Yao Li, you know now, right?” Zhou Shu said. “The things of the human race are all flashy but useless. Even the human race has a saying called useless scholars. In other words, reading is useless.

“What anthology? It’s just something that humans use to fool people. Lord Yao Li, you can’t fall for it.”

Yao Li: “…”

“I don’t think that’s what your father said.” Yao Li frowned. “He said that learning anthologies can help with cultivation breakthroughs. Look at your mother. She’s become stronger over the years. And Demon King Ao, he also likes human poetry and essays—”

“Misconception! That’s a misconception!” Zhou Shu said firmly. “If those things of the human race are useful, why doesn’t the human race have especially powerful martial artists? The Martial Dao depends on whose fist is stronger. Learning the tricks of the human race will only make us demonic beasts weak. Don’t you find it awkward, Lord Yao Li?

“In my opinion, we demonic beasts should eat meat and drink big bowls of wine. If we want to fight, we should fight. As the saying goes, we have nothing to lose. If we’re not convinced, we’ll fight! This is the nature of demonic beasts! Learning from humans is simply courting death!” Zhou Shu said excitedly.

Although Yao Li didn’t understand much, for some reason, he felt his heart racing.

Yao Li was slightly dazed as he muttered to himself, “We have nothing to lose. If we’re not convinced, we’ll fight! This seems to be the way to be a demonic beast.”
